QUIGLEY IND INC

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, QUIGLEY IND INC — a industry sector 00 facility located at 21547 TELEGRAPH RD, SOUTHFIELD, MI 48034 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 81 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $23,270.00. The inspection case was opened on 1991-09-24.

The volume of citations issued during this inspection suggests systematic compliance deficiencies rather than isolated incidents. Facilities with 10 or more citations typically face comprehensive abatement requirements and may be subject to follow-up inspections.

State Context: Within MI, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 106,495 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,470.95.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 81 citations spanning 14 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 2 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 7 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 6 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning January 4, 1990 with the latest abatement deadline set for August 23, 1991. Of the 81 total citations, 15 (19%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $23,270.00 reflects OSHA's gravity-based penalty calculation methodology, which considers the severity of potential injury, the probability of occurrence, the employer's size, good faith, and violation history. The per-citation average of $287.28 falls within the standard penalty range.

The 1991 inspection of Quigley Ind Inc revealed a systemic failure in safety management characterized by an staggering volume of 81 citations and a high frequency of repeat violations. The prevalence of repeat citations—specifically under the Michigan occupational safety standards for power presses (408.124xx series) and walking-working surfaces—demonstrated a foundational breakdown in the facility’s hazard
